I hope Elon musk gets cancelled(cancer) for this useless nonsensical black box

Hey y'all. Reminder not to trust a platform owned and operated by a Nazi manchild.

Shouldn't trust it yet.

Or ever.

XChat, has some red flags.

With a white circle and a swastika inside?

Probably shouldn't? How 'bout definitely shouldn't, ditto for Twitter in general. Give ATproto shit all you want but at least you can move to an independent PDS with it.

Granted ActivityPub is still ideal over ATproto, but both are better than a centralized black box.

TL;dr of the article :

1. They keep your private key on their servers.
2. Their implementation allows for AITM attacks.
3. It's closed source.
4. There's no perfect forward secrecy.

This secret stays between you, me, and Elon.

I hope politicians use the hell out of it, so we can see what they really think when it gets (inevitably) hacked in a few weeks.

If you trust ANYTHING Musk has for you well then have I got a bridge to sell you.

offering me end-to-end encrypted chat

No one - not even X - can access or read your messages

This key is then stored on X’s servers

So...they're just blatantly lying?

"xchat" sounds like one of those porn chat rooms

"The guy who helped install Donald Trump, did a Nazi Salute at Trump's victory parade on live TV, supports authoritarians, and who has declared war on transgender people to the point you're not allowed to say "Cis" or "Cisgender" on his platform, has created an end to end encrypted chat."

All of this has the same vibes as the time Brigham Young University amended their code of conduct to allow people to come out as queer, let some students come out, and then changed the CoC back and expelled the students.

Yet? More like never.

Brain damaged people trust x again.

~~shouldn't trust it yet~~ shouldn't trust it ever

...yet? How bout just not trusting it at all?

How about: "You probably should trust or use X at all... ever."

YET?

Why are people evening using this site anymore? It’s been severely compromised.

That "yet" is the narrative hook to trick us into feeling like it will soon be trustworthy, and that our assumed suspicions refer to a temporary state of untrustworthiness. Clever girls!

I don't trust anything coming out of Elon's fascisthole. Deleted the app when he bought it and never looked back.

Signal and encrypted email only.

Yet? What kind of idiot would imagine that X would or could provide actual secure communication?

I wouldnt trust X with a picture of my shoes

It’s like a regular encrypted chat but with peepholes and racism.

Our good friend Elon cannot be trusted? I don't believe you, this must be propaganda to discredit his good manners.

I trust it but there is a major misunderstanding of end to end encryption. Some implementations the platform holder does not have a key to decrypt data but it is far from a requirement. All end to end means is there's a blocker preventing the network from seeing what you send not twitter who im assuming has a copy of the key.

Quick everyone, install this just so that if Pete Hegseth invites people to the next airstrikes chat group, your satirical JD Vance account will be next to the real JD Vance's account and he'll probably add you both and figure it out later.

Or ever.
